Before deciding on which easy homemade body wraps recipe is the best for you, remember that you can choose between Saran wrap or drop cloth bandages when you apply one of the homemade skinny wraps and always make sure you have a place to relax as you let it work.
Red Clay Body Wrap
One of the best homemade body wraps for cellulite, the red clay body wrap, has a combination of ingredients that stimulates circulation, detoxifies the skin and fights the orange peel syndrome.
6 cups of water
1 cup dry spearmint
2 cups red clay
1 1/2 cups of apple cider vinegar
10 drops lemon essential oil
There are no complex instructions on how to make a homemade body wrap. Simply boil the water, steep the spearmint for 10 minutes then add the rest of the ingredients and apply warm, wrap and keep on for at least 30 minutes.
Coffee Body Wrap
One of the easiest body wraps you can do at home uses coffee grounds mixed with either olive oil, baby oil or body lotion. You’ll need:
1/2 cup of coffee grounds
2 cups baby oil, olive oil or lotion
Once the mixture is homogenous, rub it on the areas affected by cellulite for a minute or two, then wrap in plastic or tight bandages and keep on for up to 30 minutes. Just because it’s one of the easy homemade body wraps, it doesn’t mean it comes off just as easy: jump in the shower to clean your skin thoroughly.
Green Clay Body Wrap
While homemade skinny wraps with red clay are best suited for dry to normal skin, green clay is the best option for oily skin. Considered the best homemade body wrap by many, this mixture includes:
1 cup bentonite or green clay
1/4 cup sea salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups water
Add the sea salt to boiling water to dissolve, then add the rest of the ingredients. Keep this homemade body wrap on for 45-60 minutes.
Lemon and Honey Wrap
Homemade body wraps for cellulite focus on improving circulation and this recipe does the trick the right way. Use:
1/2 lemon
5 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons sea salt or Epsom salt
As one of the most natural body wraps you can do at home, it may take a while to prepare, but you won’t be left waiting around. Juice half of the lemon, then rind it, then mix everything together. This recipe is one of the homemade skinny wraps that acts fast: leave on for 15 minutes after wrapping.
